I know you're just being silly, Andre, but since you've brought up Frankie
Goes to Hollywood...

FGTH have some European shows scheduled (for very soon). They reformed last
year with a new singer in order to play the Prince's Trust concert (Prince
Charles's charity thing), and have since played shows in Istanbul. I don't
remember where the upcoming shows are happening, and I didn't see the info
on www.fgth.net/ (pretty sad that it's missing this info), but I am positive
that they are doing some shows soon.

To bring this closer to an SDIY topic, my friend Mark (of FGTH) has a
Jupiter 8 in storage at his mum's house in England. I keep trying to get him
to bring it home to Florida. The old Jupe hasn't been touched in close to 20
years, so it could be a real horror show -- or maybe it would just need
cleaning/recapping/calibration. I dunno but I'd like to find out!

Should a keyboard that's been asleep for 2 decades be brought back up with a
variac?
